And they built the charging infrastructure on gas stations. General Motors Cars (GMC) called their car EV1 – Electric Vehicle 1. But due to some obscure reasons (oil companies, low battery charges, etc) those cars were mandatory pulled back to manufacturer and destroyed. However, they satisfied needs of average citizen who drives 60 miles a day with average velocity equal to 29km/hour. And longest way the car is able to go without recharging is 120miles.

[Book, GreenEE] Another book of TRIZ by Salamatov – a little less formal, more practical problems and brilliant solutions. I just enjoy reading it simultaneously getting sense of what technology is and how it is developed.
[Book, GreenEE] Bedini motor patent. First attempts to analyze what his engine is reveal that the design tries to eliminate drag-back effect, so that COP goes very closely upto 1.0. But he also claims, that it can be more than that without breaking physics laws. But I didn't get how exactly yet.

Read TRIZ book by Salamatov about art of innovations. There are some basic very simple
rules to follow to save huge amount of time designing any mechanical/ electrical/ combined system
to satisfy human needs.
Every system has common patterns, common components, even common methods of inventing!
I'm only started reading that book, but it seems so-o-o cool.
[Book, Efficiency]
Tim FERRIS's “Four Hour Work Week” low-info presentation: basically what he says is to focus on a single task and eliminate
any change to be distracted – emails, instant messages, notifications, office noise.
Return emails only twice a day and only those ones which really require an answer to some questions. Also
delegate permission to solve small problems to subordinates.
And something from me: I totally share this way of concentrating on a single task, and noise is such a
thief. That is why I personally use foamed-earplugs.
[Eng, Movie] Subtitling American Beauty. Most efficient way to learn english for me is to repeat characters' speeches on paper. It seems to be silly and not worth-practicing, but I get so much amazed how many words I find in a regular *silly* movie: from 20 upto 50 new sweet meaningful ones!
